Good evening all.
I hope that your Christmas preparations are going well. I still have loads to do as I haven't been feeling well today but never mind there are still 3 days to go.

One of the great things about being a Stampin Up demonstrator is that we get to view and order items from upcoming catalogues. When I saw the new 2015 Spring and Summer catalogue I just had to have this stamp:

Side view of the decoupage:

I used my Stampin Up Markers to watercolour the tulips and I decoupaged the newspaper.

If you would like either the Spring and Summer catalogue or the Sale-a-Bration catalogue just send me an email HERE and I will pop one in the post for you. They are both full of loveliness - more sneak peeks to follow.

Now I'm off to watch the Apprentice - I wanted Roisin to win :(
Hope you have a lovely evening and thanks for visiting.Eve xChallenges:Pixie's Snippets Playground 'use snippets' 2 weeks left.Sketch Saturday 'follow the sketch' 5 days left.

Occasionally I will buy second hand rubber stamps if they are retired and I can't buy them new.
But when they arrive in the post and are stained I use my Stampin Up Stazon Cleaner with my Stampin Scrub and 'Hey Presto' they are as good as new. Here's the proof-

After:

The other good thing is that it doesn't smell horrible like some other Stazon cleaners (although the instructions say to use in a well ventilated room).

For everyday use though I use my Stampin' Mist cleaner with my Stampin' Scrub and it keeps my stamps in lovely condition.

Here are the links to my online store if you would like to take a closer look:
